Baby Boy Born Midair on India Flight

On June 18, a Jet Airways flight bound for Kochi, India, from Dammam, Saudi Arabia, was forced to divert to Mumbai after another passenger arrived on board midflight. A 29-year-old woman, identified as “Mrs C. Jose” by the Deccan Chronicle, began to feel unwell and was unable to sit within two hours of takeoff. A paramedic on board answered the crew's call for a doctor, and a healthy baby boy was delivered with the help of flight crew members within six to eight minutes, despite being premature. According to the Deccan Chronicle, Jose felt that her son was “special” and attributed his safe arrival to the actions of the crew members, thus giving her son the name Jetson. In return, baby Jetson received a lifetime travel pass for free flights with the airline.
